Geno = gene
Cide = death
Basically eliminating a people for being in a certain naturally occurring human group.
The British often selected their targets of war based on who could sustain them the most with slaves. That could be called genocide.
Japan has disability-based infanticide ingrained in its cultural practices. That could be called genocide.
Israel and Palestine have both done some horrid things to each other and deprived each other of basic needs. That isn’t something where genocide comes to mind.
There is a difference between agenda-based war and wishing to dissect a land’s demographics.

How is that genocide denial?

What Israel is doing to Palestine IS a genocide. there’s no debate about that

It’s a war crime. Not all war crimes are a genocide. Certain criteria have to be fulfilled for that. Similar to how not all mass shootings are acts of terrorism. Are you really dedicating a whole confrontation just to debate semantics?

😂 it ain’t semantics, it’s facts. ADL is a Zionist source and is unreliable btw
Amnesty International investigation concludes Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza
